| Health Architecture and Engineering |
| I am an Architect with a vision; my vision is to take Architecture to
a new dimension; therefore I would like to introduce to you my concept of
Architecture. I see the Architect as a sculptor of space, he uses walls
and other elements of the building to give the space its’ qualities. We do
not live inside the walls; we live in the space defined by the walls or
structures. We design the space to support the functions performed in it,
and ensure healthy conditions of temperature, lighting, etc. We create the
psychological impact through proportion, color, and texture, based on our
sensitivity and taste, and general trends and rules of design. New
sciences have introduced the criteria of Air Quality; toxicity, ionization
besides the off course, temperature, and humidity. However, we should not
look at space as a void that we are shaping, and consider air as a passive
element within it, our new added dimension introduces the perception of
“living space” a space that has qualities on all levels of energy;
vitality, emotional, mental and more subtle spiritual levels giving that
space a form of personality and a life. |
| We are an open energy system that continuously interact with the
surrounding energies, air for example exists around us in a collective
abstract state that we breath in and it becomes an individualized personal
state and then we exhale it out again into the collective. The quality of
each state is modifying the one following it in a continuous repetition of
the three states as we breath. Similarly as with air so it is with
vitality, emotional, mental and subtle spiritual energies, all these
energy types exist in the space around us and give the space qualities
that are constantly affecting and being affected by our energy system. The
Architect as the sculptor of space should have the knowledge and the
tools to work on all those levels. It is therefore essential that we
expand our design language to include the necessary criteria to interact
with all these energies. It is like making sure that the sea is calm
before we swim in it. |
| BioGeometry® is the design language, which uses shapes, colour, motion,
orientation and sound, to balance the qualities of all levels of energy in
the surrounding environment. As the founder of this science, and based on
thirty years of BioGeometrical experiments, I will take you into the inner
energy secrets in all fields of life in an attempt to introduce energy
balance as a principle in all life activities thus promoting health and
well being by bringing much needed harmony. |
| Our approach is a holistic approach. BioGeometry® could be looked at as
deciphering the universal language of form (color sound shape orientation)
in nature based on a new kind of physics of quality that takes man (The
effect of everything on the living energy systems) into the formula of any
activity or creation or design. |
| Architects and engineers of different specializations deal all the
time with our health and well being. The relationship of the building and
its technical systems and equipment to our health is a major concern. In
our work, besides mainstream architectural principles and guide lines that
we teach in Architecture schools we study and implement
whenever possible more traditional approaches such as: |
| - The science of Bau-biologie, which originated in Germany (1920-30),
deals with
the effect of buildings and materials on our health. It
includes Electro-biologie,
which deals with the effect of electromagnetic
energy from electrical systems and
devices on our health, and Air-biology,
which deals with the quality of air in the
building. The reduction of
pollution of the environment, including the use of pesti -
cides and
chemicals in agriculture, or chemical food additives, all contribute to
our health. |
| - Feng shui; that respect the landscape; its history and form taking
into consid-
eration shapes, materials, colours and orientation to create a
balance of energy
qualities. |
| - Geobiology which studies “Geopathic stress” in the form of different
types of E-
arth Radiation. Detection, avoiding, and protection from these
radiations can red-
uce the occurrence of many immune deficiency diseases
and different forms of
cancer. |
| - Sacred geometry that deciphers many of the principles of ancient
architecture. |
| - And last and foremost BioGeometry® design principles that measure and
attempts to correct the resultant of all the energy soup that mainstream
and traditional methods either could not detect or correct for various
reasons (cost, practica-
lity…etc). |
| It is my belief that Engineers and scientists of all specialties
should take the major responsibility for our health and not the medical
profession!!!
Taken on the simple level; in the design of a car seat, for example a
faulty design can put strain on the spine causing more than just back
pain, the spine being the major energy conductor of all body functions
electrical signals and energy flow. The placement of high voltage power
lines and Tele communication satellites in residential areas. The use of
hazardous chemicals and toxic materials. All of those pollutants are the
major cause of most of our health problems. The medical field plays the
repair role, a role more pronounced when the scientists and engineers fail
to take into consideration the many aspects that can act as preventive
measures and promote health and actually create a state of pollution on
all levels that we can perceive and more dangerously that we cannot
perceive but is still killing us! |
| BioGeometry® in a sense is an attempt to humanize this technology while
trying to create an awareness since we probably cannot fight it we try to
transform it and make it work for us and not against us. |
| We will deal with any subject in life, and encourage questions and
suggestions from our readers, whom we see as partners and friends along
the path towards a holistic well being. |
